As we started the production process, we have come to think how the intro should be titled and how the title and the font can relate to the message being conveyed. For this topic of police brutality and racial profiling, we came to a few ideas. The first idea was originally called "Tuesday Blues" which was credited to how Tuesday represents the god of war and its main characteristics of honor and justice. In addition to the representation of the day of the week, "blues" was also included to represent the somber attitude of the introduction. This idea was shot down as it feels a bit childish for the topic matter. Our next idea was "Things Falling Apart" a play on the book titled "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe as the novel pertains thematic implications of racial injustices and self love. However we felt that the play on the book would not only confuse those who hadn't read it, but also would confuse those who have, for a film adaptation. Our final, and winning title, we chose the title: "Don't Move." This title was chosen due to its simplicity, but as well as its connection to the theme as its a phrase police officers usually use, in addition to allow us to be able to use it in the film.
